This week we start off talking about Leo's latest episode of Linux User Space. In episode 5:02, Leo and Dan go over a history of the Cinnamon desktop, and how tightly it's tied to Linux Mint it's self. We then morphed into a conversation about Windows 8, Windows on the command line, and how Gnome 3 seemed to come along about the same time. Desktop design was the hot topic. We then moved on to the APT package manager, and the differ...

Bill, Leo, Majid, and Joe get together this week to talk about Audacity, Tenacity, Git, Redbox, media servers, and Majid's silly new phone.
You're not going to believe this, but AI does come up in the conversation.
All of this and so, so much more.
And by the way, Leo was kidding - Tenacity definitely does not suck.

This week Eric and Bill get into a conversation about proprietary alternatives to opensource software. It starts with us describing how we've both begun using Reaper instead of Audacity for editing the audio for our shows.
Let us know what your think. What, if any proprietary software are you using on Linux. Is it just enough that the developers make their software available on Linux? We'd love to know what you think.

We're joined by Joe from mintCast fame. The discussion starts off about audio editing and just spins out of control from there. Joe and Leo get into a few discussions about some games available on Steam. We talk a little about the Steam Deck. The Texas heat is a topic. That leads to ideas about how to mitigate the heat in the home. AI in the home, ownership of software (or the lack thereof) and so much more!

I ain't gonna lie folks - this one's a train wreck, and you'll see for your self. We did get into a pretty cool conversation about game emulation. Bill ordered one of those little Linux based personal game pads which comes pre-installed with a staggering number of games. That erodes into a back and forth about stuff like D&D as well as Magic The Gathering. As the title suggests, it's a hot mess, but we had a lot of fun none the les...

We get into an article on OMG Ubuntu about UXPlay, a tool for mirroring iOS on Linux. Bill talks a little about Xbox cloud gaming. We round it all off talkin...

Just Bill and Majid this go-around. This week we get into a little bit of what has inevitably brought us back to stable distros. What we make of things like Arch and Manjaro. This all leads to a hypothetical discussion about packaging formats and big business. These things, and a whole lot more!
